"Reverse Up"
That's the best way to make sure the reverse of your coin is the front side of the PCGS holder.

If you ask they will mount it reverse up, If you don't sometimes they will mount reverse up if there is something special about the reverse. Otherwise they mount them obverse up. Back in the early days of the grading services they would always mount them obverse up even if you specificy asked for them to be reverse up. They made the change in 1999 after the state quarters started coming out and they started getting a LOT of requests for the reverse to be mounted up. (It made sense since all the the differences on the state quarters were on the reverse.)
Hey Conder101...not to get OT but there are times my wife will point her finger at me and say, "I'm gonna have them put you in the casket face down so you can see where your headed"
I guess that would be a preference to positioning in a holder?
Hope this isn't too off topic but maybe someone can tell me if this is common. This is the one I have and I saw one up for auction like this. Thanks This'll be the first pic I've posted, fingers crossed...

I thought that was so they could kiss your ass one last time.
Too bad they [PCGS] doesn't have two inserts the same so that the label reads the same on both sides. That way when you display your coins in public or in a case at a show you don't have to explain that the gorgeous reverse toner is a 84-o in ms66.
Reverse side is pretty cool with a coin like that 58d. That coin is very attractive with FBlines and toning. The first coin I ever paid big bucks for ($1.50) at a coin shop in Albany, NY was a 58d. Started and completed a set in Mint State back when the 49S was "key" date. All Albany commens come reverse side up.

kind of like how the statehood quarter series is slabbed.

<< <i>you are allowed to request to have the reverse facing up. This is done mostly with coins toned heavily on only one side >>
That's been my experience. Here's one:
which they did way back in late 1990's when this coin was holdered

I hate it when a coin is at a 90 degree angle.
<< <i>When I had this coin graded by PCGS, they holdered it reverse-out without me requesting it. >>
From my first post
<< <i>If you don't sometimes they will mount reverse up if there is something special about the reverse. >>
Apparently they considered the colors on the reverse enough to make it special.
with the Beaver side (obverse) correct. Never say "they all"
never say never.
